Evidently insane.

Capt. Foss Of Freeport, an OLD man So
years Of age, was before the Municipal
Court yesterday morning, on complaint Of
his daughter and son-in-law, who alleged
they were in danger of their lives in conse-
quence of his sometimes violent outbursts of
anger. 1t was in evidence that he had as
saulted members of his family and threaten
ed them at various times. Also that the
town officers had been appealed to, and that
the officers had neglected or were averse to
pronOuncing him insane.
Judge Gould was disinclined to commit so
old man to prison on a criminal charge,
though convinced that the evidence was suf-
ficient to warrant binding him over. 1t was
admitted that the old man was totally una
bic to furnish bonds.
In the hope that some arrangements might
be made by the other relatives in the mean
time, and that urther evidence might be
forthcoming, the hearing was adjourned till
Saturday next and the custody Of the old
man, placed temporarily in the hands of the
town constable.

LR0ckland COurler-GaZetseI
A few weeks ago we presaged the organ
ization of cooking club in this city by some
of our very incest and most enterprising
young ladies. The club has now been or
as president. The first meeting was held with
the president one week ago Saturday, and
the second with Miss Fannie Burpee, Middle
street, last Saturday.
The young ladies meet in the afternoon,
carrying with them the various ingredients
for their cookery. The afternoon is spent in
connecting eatables and mixtures of different
kinds, which are served for supper AT the
supper table each member must tell how hel
particular dish is made, under penalty of a
fine. In the evening, drive whist and other
amusements follow. No gentlemen are al
lowed to participate. The young gentlemen
are feeling somewhat sighted, and get lit
tie quiet revenge by cruelty saying that they
had rather be excluded than be compelled to
sample the cooking of the young ladies.

[Machias Republican,

We hear it mentioned that the coming sea-
son is to witness revival of the shipbuild
ing interest in the western part of the coun-
ty 1t is stated that Capt. J. w. Sawyer &
Sons of Millbridge have about decided to
start business in their yard. and will build
two 4oO-ton schooners, one of which is in
tended for Jonesport parties. At Cherry
field, Messrs. G. X. Campbell d Co. are get,
ting the material ready for a centre board
schooner of 100 tons, and Joel Hinkley,
formerly an extensive builder of that place,
has begun the work of putting up the frame
for coaster of rs tons. In Harrington there
is talk of getting out the frame for packet
to run between this point and Portland. And
there is probability that the boom will
reach Addison, as parties are already giving
their attention to the subject.
